Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 28: A thieving mission

Tyga and Tundra opened their mouths with a proud face.

"Now do you believe us? We draconians never go back on our word."

On the other hand, Nix stood there in a Daze. He didn't know what the contract meant but he understood that selling a soul is something crucial and these two did it for their race's pride and honor which means that he shouldn't go back on his word.

"Yes, But dammit I didn't expect you people would really do it! and what is soul contract and how will it affect you and what is the use of selling your soul to me?"

"Nix shut your mouth and do your job, You will know about those things later. "

"I need to know about it.!"

"A Soul contract means that we trusted you and our soul will be bound with you as a tool or a power after we die for eternity."

"But why?"

"Cuz We Promised you didn't we? and We can't join our kindred."

'What kind of nonsense is this and why can't Draconians swallow their pride and join their families? This world is such a complicated one and these people's culture and Traditions are extremely complicated and there are more out there. how can I understand all these?'

Thinking inwardly Nix replied

"Okay I understand it "

Tyga started speaking.

"Now we will take a rest for the night and start moving tomorrow." he turned to Sara

"Sara thanks for helping us do the contract without asking or questioning us about why."

Sara blinked for a few seconds while fidgeting with her hair staring at him.

"Don't mention it please, since you are going to help me rescue my sister. I helped you with what I was capable of."

"Thank you very much"

Nix opened his mouth and started speaking.

"If you don't mind can I ask you all some questions?"

"Yes"

"Okay so, You three worship the same Dragon right?"

The three replied at the same time.

"Yes!"

"So, are there more Dragons out there?"

"Yes everybody has their own preference. Even in our Kindred, some people worship Corrupted gods while most of us worship the great Dragon Negatan."

'Hmm seems like there are big stories and many powerful entities. Let's stop it here for now. I am kinda tired right now.'

"Thank you for your answers. Let me sleep for a while so we can change shifts after some time?"

"Okay"

With that, he finished the conversation and laid down on the sand while facing the dark vast sky filled with stars and hearing the lullaby of the air while feeling the coldness of the desert he closed his eyes.

Next-Day Morning,

Nix and everybody woke and began doing some workouts and grouped for a strategic meet.

Nix asked.

"so, What will we be doing from now on?"

"First we need some necessary weapons and armor and the small city Saragame is just a Little distance away from here and we are going for a rescue mission we are not going to attack and that's where succubus are specialized she will use illusion magic on all the three of us while entering it."

Nix scratched his head and replied.

"Point one I am not skilled in stealth and point two I don't have enough money to buy armor and point three we can't travel by walking and we don't have enough food reserve for traveling such a long distance."

Tyga and Tundra smiled at Nix like they had some plan.

"Nix, who said we are going to buy things? And for traveling we can Carry you there flying and yes we will get tired of flying for a long time and for that we have a plan."

He stopped for a second and continued.

"We will Be capturing a Mutino from the forest near Saragame for the Ride back to Barani. What do you say?"

Nix furrowed his brows hearing their words.

'Did they leave their honor and pride after getting contracted with me? anyway this is what I want'

"Okay plan seems amenable but are we supposed to steal weapons and goods? And I feel something malicious.Like do we have to do this? Is it mandatory to do? What if we get in trouble there?"

Then Tyga replied.

"We have Sara remember! And I know you feel reluctant to go to an unknown city But I believe it is necessary to get pieces of equipment."

Nix questioned.

"Yeah so?"

Tundra started explaining.

"She can use illusion magic so it's easy to take the goods and mask it with illusion Magic and about entering the city. She can take care of it too."

Nix started speaking.

"Okay so it's decided then but don't you want to rescue them faster if we do these things it will be delayed."

"Yes, then get ready we will rescue those we can, we can't simply jump in without preparations."

Draconians and the succubus opened their folded wings and started fluttering their wings and slowly started to levitate from the land. And Tyga slowly got close and grabbed the shoulder of Nix and questioned.

"Ready?"

Nix nodded and all the three of them slowly arose to the Air and started increasing their flight speed momentarily and started moving forward while tearing the Air.

'Whoa, this feels dangerous!'

Nix exclaimed.

When the rose above the clouds Nix started to feel a strange thrill in his body as he looked down at the clouds and the landscape through the gaps of the clouds. As they flew the landscape changed in an instant the vast hot desert faded away from his view and a thick green lush forest came into his view while they advanced.

The three had smiles on their faces while looking at Nix who had an excited reaction on his face like a child cycling for the first time. Since they didn't find flying something extraordinary.

Tyga opened his mouth.

"Now we will be descending into the forest."

Nix nodded his head in agreement and all three of them descended into the forest.

Tyga dropped nix slowly on the ground and slowly Sara and Tundra descended.

"Now we will be walking to the city from here since we would gain a lot of attention from the City's securities if we flew all the way into the city."

Nix replied.

"Okay so, what are we waiting for? Let's move."

They started marching deep into the forest. since they only entered the edge of the forest they didn't encounter any monsters and made it to the saragame city's Gate more quickly than they anticipated.
